Excimer Laser in situ Keratomileusis for Myopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1997
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and predictability of excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of myopia. METHODS: Forty-six consecutive eyes that had LASIK with the VISX 20/20B laser and Chiron corneal shaper were evaluated. Mean spherical equivalent of the preoperative manifest refraction

The Picosecond Laser for Nonmechanical Laser in situ Keratomileusis

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1998
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To introduce the clinical use of the Nd:YLF picosecond laser as a nonmechanical microkeratome. METHODS: A commercially available Nd:YLF picosecond laser (25 µJ/pulse, 30 psec, 1053 nm) was used to deliver intrastromal pulses of focused high power laser light to generate a flap for laser in situ keratomileusis ...

Laser in situ Keratomileusis Interface Deposits

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1998
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: A clinical investigation was undertaken to determine the origin of a brown interface deposit that developed in 15 eyes after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASEK). METHODS: The LASBK procedure was evaluated and agents that were thought to be related to these brown deposits in the interface were eliminated ...

Laser in situ Keratomileusis for Anisometropic Amblyopia

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2000
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and benefit of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for correction of anisometropic amblyopia. METHODS: LASER was performed in 21 eyes of 21 anisometropic amblyopes with a mean age of 27.71 ± 12.24 years. Three patients were less than 18 years of age.

Modern laser in situ keratomileusis outcomes

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2016
Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) articles published between 2008 and 2015 that contain clinical outcomes data were reviewed and graded for quality, impression, and potential bias. All 97 relevant articles (representing 67 893 eyes) provided a positive or neutral impression of LASIK. Industry bias was not evident.
